Thanks, I will take that route. I picked up a switch to put in place my my dummy glovebox switch so it will look like it is not there in terms of the interior.

Magoo - yes, i.e. activating my switch would have the same affect as hot wiring the two fan switch terminals together at the radiator (just a temporary emergency fix when/if needed- I would recomend a much more thought out method for a permanat install) |

Mark, I believe you mean that you would bypass not short out the radiator fan switch, right? Just asking... |

I added my 'fail-safe' switch (82 GTSi) by wiring switch into the wires that go to the sending switch on the radiator, since one is always hot and temp closes circuit turning the fans on. If I throw the switch it in affect 'shorts' the sender thus activating my 12" Hayden fans. |

After my recent bout with a failed thermostat and subsequent near abandonment due to heating, I have been thinking about adding a backup fan switch. I wired in a temp to insure that I could make ti to my local shop without heating issues by simply tapping off of the batery tender. (Tapping is probalby not right, I used the actual connections.)
My question is this, where should I draw power from? Directly form the battery or would somebody who has done this recommend another power location.
Thanks,
